What is hateful...is not rebellion but the despotism which induces the rebellion; what is hateful are not rebels but the men, who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; they are the men who, having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitioners that are sent to them; they are the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone : Sir Wilfrid Laurier =

Their need for meaning is just as intense as their need for economic security." : Michael Lerner === "We Let The Crooks Take Over" The plot to shift taxes from wealthy and on the wage earners.
